Information about the school

The Folkestone Academy opened in September 2007 replacing The Channel School. In September 2009 the Academy became an All Age 4-18 Academy, joining the former Park Farm Primary School. The Primary Academy has a separate leadership team.

We serve the community of East Folkestone, an area of significant deprivation. However, we refuse to accept context as an excuse for underperformance, low expectation and a lack of achievement. Our predecessor school was an 11-16 institution working in a selective authority and, we believe, used circumstance to justify a lack of aspiration. The Academy’s mission is to place learning at the heart of the community and we attempt to foster a culture where every interaction revolves around learning, aspiration and achievement. We believe that we are making a difference. Our sponsor, Sir Roger De Haan, has placed the Academy at the heart of Folkestone’s regeneration. This centrality is evident in our outstanding learning environment, the ethos and expectations within the Academy, the appearance and behaviour of our students, and the high regard most parents have for our Academy.

In response to generations of underachievement, we believe that we have a duty to innovate and challenge educational orthodoxies. This is reflected in our curriculum model which aims to engage and enthuse students as well as enabling them to achieve.

As one would expect, English, Maths, Science and French are at its core, with Humanities delivered on one carousel and our creative curriculum comprising Art, Dance, Drama, Music, Cookery and Computing on two more. We strive towards the highest levels of achievement for our students through a broad, rich and challenging curriculum which is built upon high expectations and offers the very best learning

Our School and all its personnel are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children. This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
